Look what I got!

I told you a while back that I was participating in the fabulous Shawn at Seriously's Brithday Swap! It was so much fun. The person who had my name was Michelle and she is adorable! Go check her out.

Michelle contacted me around the deadline to let me know she had special ordered an item with the funds that were allotted, but that it would be shipped straight from the company she ordered it from. Therefore I knew my package would be a little late. It was worth the wait!

A few days ago this fabulousness arrived!

I have always wanted a mother's necklace. I blurred it out to protect my children, but not only are their birthstones attached to the pendant, but also each of their names are engraved around the edge...isn't it beautiful?

Thanks Michelle...I love it!

Thanks Shawn for hosting such a fun swap!

Don't forget everyone, Mod Podge Mania on the 30th, and my Handmade For Fall giveaway reavealed on the 1st!

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t...

Mod Podge to the Rescue

Have you noticed that eggs and nests seem to be a common theme in home decor - especially with people making some decor changes for spring? I've seen some pretty cute stuff! For example - what do you think of these? If you like this look, you can get it at Williams-Sanoma. You'll pay $36 for the eggs, and $68 for 1 glass hurricane. They don't include the greenery! Sheesh! Maybe you could go online and find the whole look, already put together, like this: You'll pay $39 for that teeny one, and if you'd like a larger one - you'll shell out $89! Good thing I'm the Queen of Mod Podge! Remember this beauty that I found at the DI for $5? Well, I gathered up my trusty mod podge, the left over scrap book paper from this project, some plastic eggs that I got for 79 cents at Walmart, and a bag of moss that was around $2, also from Walmart. I mod podged the eggs closed so they wouldn't pop open while I was working with them, then I cut the scrapbook paper into ...
